Easy Meatloaf
This Easy Meatloaf recipe is a quick and flavorful take on a classic comfort food, perfect for busy weeknights. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a hearty meal that’s sure to satisfy the whole family. We’re using a box of stuffing mix instead of breadcrumbs, which adds extra seasoning and texture to the meatloaf while helping bind it together. The eggs provide additional binding and help keep the meatloaf moist, while the water ensures the stuffing mix hydrates properly. Ketchup brings a tangy sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory ground beef. Finally, topping the cooked meatloaf with rich beef gravy adds a delicious finishing touch, making every bite extra comforting. This recipe combines convenience and flavor, making it an easy go-to meal for any night of the week.
